Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the anatomy of the endodontium, i.e. the root of the tooth. An endodontist treats the root canals of teeth, removing the tissue damaged by decay and protecting the tooth from further damage, which allows even in difficult cases to save the tooth, avoiding its extraction
The most common complication of dental caries is pulpitis (inflammation of the nerves and vessels inside the tooth). In the beginning it is manifested by spontaneous prolonged pain, acute attack-like pain is a sign of already progressive pulpitis.
If not treated in time, the infection in the root canals spreads beyond the root to the bone tissue – periodontitis, periostitis, osteomyelitis. Periodontitis is characterized by severe pain when biting and the symptom of “enlarged tooth”.
At City Smile Dental Center, endodontic treatment is performed exclusively under a microscope, which allows us to work as accurately, efficiently, and as traumatically as possible.
